A bank account has $500 in it. Use the formula A=P(1+r)n to find out how much will be in the account after 20 years if it earns 8% interest, compounded yearly. Give your answer to the nearest cents.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
